Renck: Can’t stand Pat. Or at least life without him. While a lot of CU fans would be happy to wave goodbye to offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, even a single Broncos game without Pat Surtain II remains unnerving. Everything went right for Denver in a rout of the Cowboys. Except for this: Surtain hurt his left shoulder and did not play the second half. It raises the question: Can the Broncos win at Houston this Sunday without him?
Keeler: They can. But doing so might come down to one key guy who had a great day against the Cowboys — rookie nickel back Jahdae Barron.
